A bold story of love and deception, with a fascinating main character
[An] elegantly written debut... Riley is obviously super smart and has an old-fashioned, modernist sort of style that makes you think. I loved it.
A refreshing love story about the importance of independence and destiny
It is a weaving tale of will-they-wont-they that Riley spins here, one that I found myself unable to put down... this novel certainly meets expectations.
A fluid and engaging love story with a truly unique heroine
'Acts of Love is a total joy. [Talulah Riley] is an absolute force of nature. As is her lead character. Read and revel'
